Most issues people have with GNOME 3 “classic” usually boil down to “thepanel is black instead of grey”.
I dont think so. There are a lot of differences between MATE and GNOME fallback. Some examples: the new layout of all applications with so many removed buttons, the removed tree sidebar and compact view in nautilus, etc.
Anyway, you’re welcome to package MATE in Debian. Just fix all the codeduplication stupidity before. So far no one has volunteered to do so.
This is not true. MATE team is working hard to do this and we are in a good point. Migration to gsettings/dbus (and deletion of obsolete libs like bonobo, gconf, gnome-vfs, libgnome, libgnomeui and libgnomecanvas) is almost complete, and GNOME developers helped us on this too.
In addition to this, MATE offers new features too.
